A Minot woman purchased a variety pack of Banquet brand fried chicken that had a little more variety than she would have liked.

Yesterday, Becky Gulbranson sat down to dinner with her family and began eating what she believed to be a chicken breast.

However, she quickly noticed something strange about the piece of meat...

(Becky Gulbranson, Minot) "My boyfriend was like, 'Are you okay? What's wrong?' And I showed himthis is a vertabrae. And then I was pointing and showing him. Then I got to the top of the spinal column, and there was a big bump, but it was full of the breading. So I realized it was the head, and I got sick, and I ran upstairs."


She later contacted Banquet Foods, owned by parent company ConAgra. She says the representative there offered her four coupons, which Becky quickly rejected. Then, the company said they would send two representatives from their office in Omaha, Nebraska to collect the bird, but never called back.

She says their story changed again today. When she called this afternoon, the representative told her they would send individuals in the area contracted through the company to collect the bird.

Becky then contacted an official with the North Dakota State Department of Health, who encouraged her to contact the USDA, the organization responsible for inspecting the meat...

(Becky) "I want some answers. How did this happen? How could this happen? There's no way that something like that should pass by someone's eye."


At this point, Becky says she's still waiting for a call back from local USDA officials. watch the video | save this article / add to your favorites list
